How would you rate the performance of the Pentagon leadership post "major combat"

[tnitsuj]

I am referring to the top leadership at the Pentagon.

There's leadership?


That's my answer.

 

[conjur]

Meaning Rumsfeld?

On a scale of Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good, Excellent


Fair

 

[charrison]

Good.

Mistakes have been made, but no operation is going to be perfect.

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

Well to give a serious answer, good during the war, and completely clueless now.

America isn't used to invading and occupying a friendly people. It's a first for us.

I have doubts that few people would actually have the knowledge to make this evaluation.
However, from the only perception I have (various media outlets) his performance would make for some interesting debate.

Can't fully judge the guy. We, or at least I, don't have all the facts.

However based on the state of the military in Iraq I would say poor.

The military doesn't have enough support (armor) to conduct the low intensity fighting that is taking place is dozens of places around Iraq. That is why they are taking so many casualties while back home the government is in a panic and still "debating" on what to do.

Bunch of freaking loosers.

Edit: I wonder what these loosers would "suggest" to resolve this problem if we stuck em all in a convoy and had em ride through some of the "rough" spots that the Marines are forced to patrol or watch over while they get sniped at.

Anyone here think that would produce results? =p

I think Rumsfeld is a fvckup. He reminds me of the middle management dolts at my last job who got to where they are on their connections rather than their merits.

OMG! What happened to this thread?

Just hit "Dialectize" button.

I wouldn't place Rumsfeld in the Pentagon, so I think they have done a good job of a terrible situation.

Our political leadership (Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld) would rate an F. F- is I'm allowed to grade that low...
